@StraightUpTruth weight doesn’t matter as much as intensity, reps, intent and several other factors. Take the ego out the gym, everyone starts somewhere and the video is accurate ✌🏿
Failure is but the precursor to success. Or failing is how you learn what to do right. Applies to most things in life, even if they don't always feel that way.
@@davidproano3308 this is why any trainer worth his salt will tell you to only train with weight in your hands up to 2 reps from failure. Obviously, throwing, tossing pushing ect where weight cant land on you or anyone else could be diff. But still not necessary. You should strive for 1-3% improvment from workout to workout.(be it from reps, weight, time under tension, range of motion improvments, ect) This can be done safely by stopping 2 reps before failure. anyone looking for some of the most advanced fitness knowledge available look up paul chek(current) and work from charles polyquin(late). The best technical knowledge in the game to date,~ N.A.S.M. CPT/ Corrective exercise specialist.
That's true when compared to just reaching the failure, period. However you can go beyond failure, with things such as drop sets, which is proven to provide even more hypertrophy.
Failure reps are dangerous as they create imbalances as can even be seen in this video, with the creator seemingly pushing unevenly on both sides. Time under tension is far more important than failure reps. As you've pointed out, keep 2 or 3 in the tank and just opt for an extra set instead.
@@Carrancka yeah, 16-20 reps of lighter weight (25% of 1 rep max) equalled to 8-12 of heavy weight (90% 1 rep max) in terms of hypertrophy. Combine them both, and you get twice the result
@@paulmcf1115Where did you hear that? Doing 16 to 20 reps with 25% your 1RM is nothing. Your math is off. If someone has a 405lb deadlift, do you really think doing 101 lbs for 20 reps is going to do anything?
Yes because you can’t see the muscle working plus you are using a lot more muscles on rows than chest exercises, which makes it harder to isolate the back muscles
Lifting to failure is the quickest way to stimulate your muscle to grow. It also improves your mental strength, something that most men these days are too scared to train.
I can't lie - this do be Tobey Maguire when he be stopping the train. If you enjoyed this observation, please like this comment and say a prayer for me.
I just want to say that this is only true for people who have already built a lot of muscle and need to push themselves harder to gain more muscle. If you are just starting out and you do this you will overdo it and may even be to sore to work out the next day. Consistency is key.
Nobody should take advice from this guy, lol. As a beginner, all you need is lower weight. You should still attempt failure. And listen to your body. If you are too sore, take a rest day or 2, or even 3. You're a beginner, it's okay. I have been training in the gym for over 15+ years. Onset soreness is especially normal for beginners btw.
What I appreciate is that even after failure he doesn’t slam or drop them on the ground. Goes to show that shit is a completely unnecessary affectation.
Your very candid faces of struggle in a lot of your videos (where u clench ur lips and the face turns red) have actually pushed me to try harder. I thank you.
going to failure won't really make you progress faster. my best progress came from getting close to failure and stopping there. Was able to get in the gym more often and get better. Do what he did here will have you only training 2-3 times a week. I can train every other day. Only applies to naturals though
Shoulder impingement occurs when bones in shoulder impinge on the shoulder tendon(s), causing irritation/pain. This primarily occurs due to neglection of mobility work, and a neglection of the antagonist muscle groups. It has absolutely nothing to do with taking your sets to technical failure or not. So stop neglecting your mobility, and start doing more face-pulls, rows and pullups. Bench press is a great movement, but it's notoriously terrible for your shoulder mobility. If you don't balanced things out with pulling volume and stretching, you WILL develope an impingement eventually. Whether or not you go to failure.
@@tjcogger1974 There's more than just impingement that can happen on a movement like this though. In fact, It wasn't an impingement I got. After going to get it checked it had to do with the cartilage that holds the shoulder in place letting the bone move out of place caused by rolling shoulders forward and low stability at the top which is easy to forget about when pressing heavy weight. I'm all about pushing yourself to your limits, but you really have to be conscious of your form when you do it, especially on an exercise like this, and when you start getting into much heavier weight. I've never had any issues on bench because I've always been very particular about form, but I neglected incline and would flare my elbows and rotate my shoulders a bit too far forward. Won't happen again.
@@Borgia5119 dude, you're the one who said "shoulder impingement". If you just said shoulder injury I wouldn't have questioned it. But a shoulder impingement is a very specific type of shoulder injury that isn't caused by going to failure
@@tjcogger1974 That was a month ago before I had even found out what I had. My overall message was to tell people to be careful when they're lifting because the guy in the video is wobbling all over the place. You can also get a shoulder inpingement from lifting weights that are too heavy too often, it is not uncommon. I stated very clearly to just have good form if you do this.
But I you go to failure every time you won't be able to recover properly and the fatigue will accumulate week after week until your performance declines.
A goal for myself is to completely fail. If I fail I now have a goal to beat. Judge yourself and compete against yourself not others. This was a great video!
Heads up y’all, as a doctor of physical therapy, evidence has it that stopping 1-2 reps before “true failure (not being able to complete the rep without losing form) you can get the same results without risking injury which mainly occurs at true failure 🙂 Edit: randomly came back to this vid to see this many likes. Happy people were informed by this. Happy safe lifting!

I've literally been stuck 10 pounds 12 reps lateral raises for the past 2 months because I am still working on form and mind muscle connection and making sure I am not cheating. I knew lateral raises need lighter weights but god damn
You didn't go to failure, because you didn't fail ! The point of traning to failure is completing the last rep like you did, then going for another one, and if you get it you go for another untill you fail. Great video though.
@@sussybaka4276 That's great. If you are doing say, 4 sets of bicep curls, you can aim for around 1-2 reps in reserve per set and really push it on the last one or 2 sets. If you do every single set to failure in one session, the mind muscle connection might not be very effective and any additional volume will just feel off and just dig you in a deeper hole to recover from. I'm saying this from experience since I really struggle with recovery because I LOVE failure and have been through many injuries, burnout and recovery issues from wanting that burn that makes you feel your workout is effective. I used to be a swimmer and my coach really pushed us to our damn limits and that mentality just stuck 😪 lifting is very different.
If you can’t complete another rep without risking form injury or pace then you’ve failed, it doesn’t literally mean your arms give out underneath you, that’s called risking an injury.
nope, what he did in the video was a 0 RIR set (which means you know you can’t complete another rep with good form.) Failure set means you attempt a rep and fail to complete it. subtle difference.
@@veershah463 Yes but no, failure is a bit of a broad term. Some people consider “failure” when you physically can’t complete the rep or drop the weight, but since everyone here is arguing semantics, scientifically speaking failure is “selecting a weight so that the last rep taxes you to the point that you struggle to complete it in that set.” Muscle _failure_ is also defined as “lifting weights to the point where a muscle can no longer contract concentrically” (aka you can’t complete another rep). So while gym bros’ definition of failure may be dropping the weight, scientifically speaking, 0 reps in reserve is EXACTLY what the definition of failure is, as that would be an LSRPE of 10.
Everytime I undergo that. I always whisper in my head "Failure has been achieved, thank god!" Makes me look forward even more to feel that same failure tomorrow
This is so bad, you're losing all proper form if you go past your failure point like this. This will only lead to injuries and won't do you much more for muscle growth than stopping at or just before failure. This is clearly reckless and stupid.
@@George-ny7pf not necessarily. if you are newer to the gym i suggest you do reps of 5 or 6 to get used to it. Also if you heavy lift you should do more sets of less reps such as 5X5.
Failure isn't muscle injury or pain, it's when your muscles literally can't or refuse to finish the rep. It doesn't usually hurt, it's like trying to walk when your feet are numb but without the tingling, the unresponsivness is a clear sign of going to muscle failure.
@@mastertrey4683 I can tell you from experience, that isn't always the case. I have worked out the same as I have any other day but have had sessions where I never got sore or experienced pain, still exhausted, but wasn't accompanied by pain. It doesn't happen often, but it's happened enough that I know what it feels like.
Just watch and don’t injure yourself, that’ll set you back a lot and leave you with possibly lifetime consequences. Be wise, be careful, don’t overdo it.
@@colewilson_ So being wise, being careful and not ruining your self (your body) and not OVERDOING things is not a good philosophy? The reversal is the way to live? Knock yourself out then, my friend, but i’ll stick by my comment.
I've literally been doing this for 11 years, 6 times a week, for every working set - never once even pulled a muscle. I did once pull a muscle in my neck from lat pulldown but it was on the 2nd rep of the set and because I didn't warm up :')
the greatest thing about going til failure is that at those last few reps, it really is just about you and your own will. It doesn't get any simpler, just how much you can lift and how much you're willing to push it. Failure is your willpower at its most tangible.
in fact, studies show that working to failure is harmful if you slow down by more than 20%. so there is no need to work hard. need to half-failure. there will be more progress in the growth of muscle mass and strength.
A TIP for you and for everyone: if you struggle to do a 12-15 set with 30 kg for example , and if you use maybe 26/27 kg the set is very easy and maybe you can do more than 12-15 without any problem TRY THIS: Do 5-8 reps with the “heavy weight” (for example 30 kg)and then reach the other remaining reps until 12-15 by dropping with a lower weight (for example 26/27 kg),in this way you guarantee both a relatively heavy lift (therefore mechanical tension for strength) + by climbing the weight in the same set the TUT (time under tension for hypertrophy)
😊 One time i wasn't felt my strenght anymore and i just droped the bar behind me during a bench press. Thank to the rack that received the weight. Be prudent guys when you are alone, don't overload you. Sometimes you feel ok, but you are really near of failure or without gas and it can be dangerous to hight weight.
When you know it's about to happen it feels like you're gonna experience hell and all you can do is take breath and pray to god this doesn't last more that 20 seconds💀
I’m in my 30s and here’s my 2 cents for any 15-25 year olds who will listen: You shouldn’t want to go to failure. You should train at a rhythm that lets you train as consistently as possible while still progressing, but never put progress over consistency. If you do, you will stop and have to regress a lot. It’s taking a leap forward that brings you ten steps back. But whatever, you do you. I was your age once and I know what you’ll say: “If it doesn’t almost kill you, you’re missing out on something”. There’s a time to be a warrior, but also you only get one body.
I'm also in my thirties and the way I explained it to my teenage son was "if you want to get somewhere is it quicker to do a series of standing long jumps or to just walk?".
I'm in my 50's. Absolutely train to failure (at least once a week or every other week), just do it the smart way (only way to build quick twitch muscle). Do drop sets to failure.
@@matthewoconnor5690 I do failure as well though it is a little less frequency, say once every four sessions with each muscle group (also with drop sets).
@@DaNortWoods 🤦♂️ nothing about strength training is endurance based, it's 100% about quick twitch. Fast movements and HIIT improve Type IIa, while things like drop sets, and lifting to exhaustion (most specifically in compound exercises like bench, squats, cleans, and dead lift) increase power in the Type IIb quick twitch muscles. Perhaps you're confused with calisthenics?
I used to train like that as well and thought of people who left that last grinder in the tank to not train hard enough. But now I avoid those. Form breakdown, imbalances and slower recovery aren't worth it.
That's why I love cables so much, especially chest exercises. You can go to your fullest without worrying about injuring yourself with a barbell or a dumbell. I really adore cables.
@@amunakoy1799 ive had many progress with 1 rep maxes, many times I just started with 1 rep pushups, 1 rep pull ups and 1 rep pistol squats and eventually I was able to do 2 Also I was joking, I thought u would get it cus who the hell do 1 rep Max cables, that's just painful
Yup, very accurate depiction of failure. I know I’m reaching failure when I start screaming and the weights are not going up. Then I start squirming like a worm to get the last rep and most of the time, I fall of the bench and suffocate for a few minutes because I held my breath for too long. On to next exercise!
Back when I started to take lifting seriously I did a 6 weeks long madcow routine, and with 70kg on bench press, which was an absolute maximum record for me at the time, my chest suddenly stopped answering to my brain and I dropped the bar... Luckily my dad who was spotting me snatched the bar, but I've never felt so scared at a gym
That’s why ego lifting ain’t really worth it. I’ve had a minor pec tear due to that and that shit hurt for weeks. Couldn’t sneeze or cough coz that would put me in agony. Now I usually bench press heavy enough to train to failure in my last two sets. You’ll know it when you’re lifting excessively heavier weights than you’re supposed to.
the load on the bar must be loose, then you can drop it, one side and another. When my max was 80 kg I could get up with the bar on my stomach, but now it's not possible
@@noahm44 I'm sore like once every month, maybe twice. And it is always when I slowed down on protein for a while. Otherwise, I kept charging away to 365lb bench and 495lb squat without feeling much soreness. I always associate soreness with = NEED MORE PROTEIN.
@@nehmanator333 really I didn’t know about the protein part. I’m new to working out. I’ll keep that in mind. There is so much to learn about exercise and the body lol! Also those are some impressive numbers! I couldn’t come close to that yet! Keep it up though!
The longer I train ( 4 decades now) the more I realize going to failure ( especially without a spot) isn’t necessary to get results- consistency is what matters and a slow smart progression because the body will adapt.

I'm saying this from experience since I really struggle with recovery because I LOVE failure and have been through many injuries, burnout and recovery issues from wanting that burn that makes you feel your workout is effective. I used to be a swimmer and my coach really pushed us to our damn limits and that mentality just stuck 😪 lifting is very different.

If you can’t complete another rep without risking form injury or pace then you’ve failed, it doesn’t literally mean your arms give out underneath you, that’s called risking an injury.
Yeah but it is obvious that after that the next rep is going to be a failure
nope, what he did in the video was a 0 RIR set (which means you know you can’t complete another rep with good form.) Failure set means you attempt a rep and fail to complete it. subtle difference.
@@veershah463 Yes but no, failure is a bit of a broad term. Some people consider “failure” when you physically can’t complete the rep or drop the weight, but since everyone here is arguing semantics, scientifically speaking failure is “selecting a weight so that the last rep taxes you to the point that you struggle to complete it in that set.”
Muscle _failure_ is also defined as “lifting weights to the point where a muscle can no longer contract concentrically” (aka you can’t complete another rep).
So while gym bros’ definition of failure may be dropping the weight, scientifically speaking, 0 reps in reserve is EXACTLY what the definition of failure is, as that would be an LSRPE of 10.

Everytime I undergo that. I always whisper in my head "Failure has been achieved, thank god!"
Makes me look forward even more to feel that same failure tomorrow
That ain’t nothin’!
I once saw a dude drop his dumbbells on his toes. Now that’s failure!

Always got one more rep in you
Yeah nah he def had another rep in em

Tanked his nervous system?
@@billbob8510 He firmed it, basically he got grasp of his power and held it for the rep
@@Xades tanked means destroyed bro
Start lifting, put it down
@@TronciM yeah but how did lifting the weight damage his nervous system?
I would argue he didnt go to failure, he did the rep.
This is so bad, you're losing all proper form if you go past your failure point like this. This will only lead to injuries and won't do you much more for muscle growth than stopping at or just before failure.
This is clearly reckless and stupid.
That last rep was a battle. It always feels like time slows down when your on that rep.

Now im happy because thats exactly how i felt and looked yesterday when doing benches and dumbell pressess. Thanks max ily
Although it has some benefit holding back one or two reps can greatly decrease injury as you progress towards heavier weights.
Simple rule of thumb:-
•go to failure always on machines.
•go to 1 rep from failure otherwise.
If you aren’t training minimum RPE 8 you’re wasting time
@@George-ny7pf not necessarily. if you are newer to the gym i suggest you do reps of 5 or 6 to get used to it. Also if you heavy lift you should do more sets of less reps such as 5X5.
@@George-ny7pf there is some benefit to not going to faliure bc your recovery is faster and the benefit is minimal from faliure
Bullshit. Failure every time, every single exercice.
Failure isn't muscle injury or pain, it's when your muscles literally can't or refuse to finish the rep. It doesn't usually hurt, it's like trying to walk when your feet are numb but without the tingling, the unresponsivness is a clear sign of going to muscle failure.
yeah right, that's the point I stop.
It does hurt because of all the lactic acid building in your muscles that always accompanies going to failure
I bench press today, I almost had my first failure , but I stopped breathing and I used every little muscle of my body to push the bars one last time
@@mastertrey4683 I can tell you from experience, that isn't always the case. I have worked out the same as I have any other day but have had sessions where I never got sore or experienced pain, still exhausted, but wasn't accompanied by pain. It doesn't happen often, but it's happened enough that I know what it feels like.
That's how I threw my back out in hs. 5 reps of my PR deadlift and the last one my lower back popped, Perfect form too.
I once got a nod of approval from a guy after pushing through the last rep.
I've never felt a sense of belonging at the gym until that moment 🙂.
I thought I was doing it wrongly until I saw this vid, cuz whenever I reach that stage I don't feel any pain but it comes after.
Bro the last rep feels like I'm fighting for my life
Just watch and don’t injure yourself, that’ll set you back a lot and leave you with possibly lifetime consequences. Be wise, be careful, don’t overdo it.
chill, if you dont ego lift you will be fine 99% of the time
They don't listen till they get hurt. Then they'll listen lol
you'll never achieve anything truly great with that attitude
@@colewilson_
So being wise, being careful and not ruining your self (your body) and not OVERDOING things is not a good philosophy? The reversal is the way to live? Knock yourself out then, my friend, but i’ll stick by my comment.
I've literally been doing this for 11 years, 6 times a week, for every working set - never once even pulled a muscle. I did once pull a muscle in my neck from lat pulldown but it was on the 2nd rep of the set and because I didn't warm up :')
Success is moving from failure to failure with enthusiasm
Pause for 7sec, respect for eternity 💪🏽 Much respect to all my brothers who work their ass off at the gym🗿❤️
the greatest thing about going til failure is that at those last few reps, it really is just about you and your own will. It doesn't get any simpler, just how much you can lift and how much you're willing to push it. Failure is your willpower at its most tangible.
Good point man
Simply put!!!!!
Facts
Is biologoy joke to you?
in fact, studies show that working to failure is harmful if you slow down by more than 20%. so there is no need to work hard. need to half-failure. there will be more progress in the growth of muscle mass and strength.
My reps always look like that 😭 the pain sometimes, most of the time I feel nothing I just can’t lift and I get angry lmao
Don't give up!!! Embrace that pain... That's the greatest feeling anyone can ever experience
I suffered from pain too. I just find out that ice pack would be a great relief for it
@@homayunarbabi537 🤦
A TIP for you and for everyone: if you struggle to do a 12-15 set with 30 kg for example , and if you use maybe 26/27 kg the set is very easy and maybe you can do more than 12-15 without any problem TRY THIS: Do 5-8 reps with the “heavy weight” (for example 30 kg)and then reach the other remaining reps until 12-15 by dropping with a lower weight (for example 26/27 kg),in this way you guarantee both a relatively heavy lift (therefore mechanical tension for strength) + by climbing the weight in the same set the TUT (time under tension for hypertrophy)
Bro same
😊 One time i wasn't felt my strenght anymore and i just droped the bar behind me during a bench press. Thank to the rack that received the weight. Be prudent guys when you are alone, don't overload you. Sometimes you feel ok, but you are really near of failure or without gas and it can be dangerous to hight weight.
Exactly. It's amazing to me that people don't intuitively, logically, and physically understand what "going to failure" means.
When you know it's about to happen it feels like you're gonna experience hell and all you can do is take breath and pray to god this doesn't last more that 20 seconds💀
Fr bruh the struggle is real💪🤣💀
Well I dunno why it feels like hell for you but to me it feels like heaven, a wonderful juicy pump and all that blood rushing to the muscles
Yeah you just think to yourself “better buckle up because this is gonna be miserable”
@@jaynikk758 seek help

@@orangutantitties5208 how. Going to failure feels 10x better for everything (but calves) than not going to failure
I’m in my 30s and here’s my 2 cents for any 15-25 year olds who will listen: You shouldn’t want to go to failure. You should train at a rhythm that lets you train as consistently as possible while still progressing, but never put progress over consistency. If you do, you will stop and have to regress a lot. It’s taking a leap forward that brings you ten steps back.
But whatever, you do you. I was your age once and I know what you’ll say: “If it doesn’t almost kill you, you’re missing out on something”.
There’s a time to be a warrior, but also you only get one body.
I'm also in my thirties and the way I explained it to my teenage son was "if you want to get somewhere is it quicker to do a series of standing long jumps or to just walk?".
I'm in my 50's. Absolutely train to failure (at least once a week or every other week), just do it the smart way (only way to build quick twitch muscle). Do drop sets to failure.
@@matthewoconnor5690 I do failure as well though it is a little less frequency, say once every four sessions with each muscle group (also with drop sets).
As 41 yr old I can tell the 25 year old this 30 year old is talking garbage! As long as you break yourself you’ll be fine
@@DaNortWoods 🤦♂️ nothing about strength training is endurance based, it's 100% about quick twitch. Fast movements and HIIT improve Type IIa, while things like drop sets, and lifting to exhaustion (most specifically in compound exercises like bench, squats, cleans, and dead lift) increase power in the Type IIb quick twitch muscles. Perhaps you're confused with calisthenics?
I started doing every set, instead of just the last set, to failure. And what a difference it has made. Failure speeds up successful gains.
This guy isnt pushing those weights up
Hes secretly a saiyan so hes pullin the earth up
I used to train like that as well and thought of people who left that last grinder in the tank to not train hard enough. But now I avoid those. Form breakdown, imbalances and slower recovery aren't worth it.
Agree. Instead of going full failure, do rest pause or drop set instead. Increase volume, less CNS fatigue, better recovery
Same, the ones that go to failure without thinking and just for the sake of it are posers.
Or go to failure, get good sleep and diet, slam a few sloots once in awhile, have a good regime and don't have pathetic genetics that can't recover.

That's why I love cables so much, especially chest exercises. You can go to your fullest without worrying about injuring yourself with a barbell or a dumbell. I really adore cables.
U can still inure urself when u drop the weight and ur hands come slamming to whichever direction the cable comes back to
@@johankaruyan5536 of course, but the risk is much much lower.
@@amunakoy1799 that's not true, I used to do a lot of 1 rep maxes on the cable and got injured alot
@@johankaruyan5536 then do not do 1 rep maxes. No benefit at all. I never had any problems with progressive overload.
@@amunakoy1799 ive had many progress with 1 rep maxes, many times I just started with 1 rep pushups, 1 rep pull ups and 1 rep pistol squats and eventually I was able to do 2
Also I was joking, I thought u would get it cus who the hell do 1 rep Max cables, that's just painful
Yup, very accurate depiction of failure. I know I’m reaching failure when I start screaming and the weights are not going up. Then I start squirming like a worm to get the last rep and most of the time, I fall of the bench and suffocate for a few minutes because I held my breath for too long. On to next exercise!
if youre not preparing to dodge those metals, it aint close to failure yet
My guy is over here lifting in a doctors office
Remember, when you think you reach failure you got Tom Platz behind you saying "Come on!!!", "There is 5 more!!!!"
Meanwhile you are on the ground passed out
🤣🤣🤣 so true!
Lol
His face when struggling is real asf but nah bro that got me 🤣
his gymbro: you have 4 left
Failure is Blessing since it leads to Success
I have cracks in my teeth from reps like this 🤣
That's not failure. You completed the movement.
Song name?
Wanna know too
Override, it's funk
Man. Its even satisfying to watch him do that last rep 😍
🤡
Blud during the whole vid:
😠 😮
😠 😮
I’m thankful to know what this looks like already
That last rep that gives the feeling of impending doom.. that's the stuff 🤤
😈indeed
The impending doom is severely messing up your shoulders and being in pain for the rest of your life. Don't push to failure
It's nice failing on the final rep, makes you truly feel like you chose the right weight for the set.
if your last rep is rep, than you didn't go to failure
This is exactly what my last rep looks like. This is everything
Back when I started to take lifting seriously I did a 6 weeks long madcow routine, and with 70kg on bench press, which was an absolute maximum record for me at the time, my chest suddenly stopped answering to my brain and I dropped the bar... Luckily my dad who was spotting me snatched the bar, but I've never felt so scared at a gym
That’s why ego lifting ain’t really worth it. I’ve had a minor pec tear due to that and that shit hurt for weeks. Couldn’t sneeze or cough coz that would put me in agony. Now I usually bench press heavy enough to train to failure in my last two sets. You’ll know it when you’re lifting excessively heavier weights than you’re supposed to.
Are you flexing that you have a dad :(
the load on the bar must be loose, then you can drop it, one side and another. When my max was 80 kg I could get up with the bar on my stomach, but now it's not possible
@@tommyshelby1919 drop it to your stomach slide it to your hips, sit up and stand. You could do that up to 2x of your bodyweight.
Yea never do anything to failure when you're under a barbell....that's just silly
Bro him at the second to last rep while locked out at the top is such a f*ing mood
"Last time to look at me hector"
Nahh bro… u always got one more in you!
(I almost die at the end of every set lol)
I literally did exactly this, today.. It's a great feeling
The pain a few days later is so satisfying. I actually enjoy it. It reminds me of my hard work I put in.
When I'm not sore, I feel like something is wrong aha
@@noahm44 Right? It makes me going harder next time. Gotta go until it hurts! Lol
@@noahm44 I'm sore like once every month, maybe twice. And it is always when I slowed down on protein for a while. Otherwise, I kept charging away to 365lb bench and 495lb squat without feeling much soreness. I always associate soreness with = NEED MORE PROTEIN.
@@nehmanator333 really I didn’t know about the protein part. I’m new to working out. I’ll keep that in mind. There is so much to learn about exercise and the body lol! Also those are some impressive numbers! I couldn’t come close to that yet! Keep it up though!
@@184ktmdm reminder that soreness isnt a direct indicator of a good workout, its just a side effect. Jeff Nippard has a great video on the subject
One of the greatest feeling in the gym is getting that one rep that has been taking you so long in a position where your like you got it
Going faliure on each set I end up hurting myself...I think near failure is good enough
This mentality leads to healthy joints ...said no one ever. Progressive overload and consistency is key 🔑
Phenomenal man you’re a true champ keep up the good work my guy.💯💪🏾
It's amazing that I can achieve failure without doing this.
The longer I train ( 4 decades now) the more I realize going to failure ( especially without a spot) isn’t necessary to get results- consistency is what matters and a slow smart progression because the body will adapt.
